Hadith.5445 - Hammad ibn ʿIsa narrated from Ribʿi ibn Abdullah from Muhammad ibn Muslim from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as), who said
"If a man appoints someone as his executor while that person is absent, the appointed person does not have the right to reject the will. However, if he appoints him while he is present in the same town, then he has the choice to either accept or decline it."
5445 - رَوَى حَمَّادُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
"إِنْ أَوْصَى رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَجُلٍ وَ هُوَ غَائِبٌ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يَرُدَّ وَصِيَّتَهُ وَ إِنْ أَوْصَى إِلَيْهِ وَ هُوَ بِالْبَلَدِ فَهُوَ بِالْخِيَارِ إِنْ شَاءَ قَبِلَ وَ إِنْ شَاءَ لَمْ يَقْبَلْ".
